The Carrot Friday Nite Live presents Joe Nolan – June 6

🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $20 Cover | Youth (12 & under) $10 | All Ages 🎶

Known for his scrappy solo shows and arresting stage presence, Nolan’s songs are sometimes fragile and fractured, yet winningly wistful. In the next moment, he'll throw on his weathered newsboy cap and crank out a grit-soaked howl, paying homage to the Delta Blues. For a solo act, Nolan is a mountain, and audiences are his lifeblood. He continues to dazzle fans across North America and Europe, performing around 150 shows a year. His lyrics draw a harrow over the human condition, revealing secrets that only those daring enough to cross into uncharted territory could uncover.

🎶 Live music starts at 7:00 pm | $10 Cover | Youth (12 & under) - $5 | All Ages 🎶

Mike Szabo, Had a late start to his music career. Truth is, he never saw it coming. In just a few short years Mike has written his own book of songs and has been featured several times on CKUA, CBC and Windspeaker Radio. What he loves most though, is to perform for a live audience. Self taught over decades, Mike spent a lot of time around Alberta Campfires, singing the songs of the some of the world’s best songwriters. While you may well hear those influences in his music, Mike has definitely found his own voice and his songwriting is beginning to be noticed. With words that don’t hold back and with his heart on his sleeve, Mike paints a vivid picture of life and the world around us, transporting you from a seat in the audience, to a special place in your memories and your heart. 2024 brought Mike invitations to play his songs at folk clubs, festivals, civic events, house concerts and no less than four songwriters showcases around Alberta. With a new studio album soon to hit the airwaves, 2025 could be a busy year for this Alberta singer songwriter.
